Large, palmately lobed leaves on trees, often leafless at flowering time; big, bright yellow, crinkled-petalled flowers with numerous stamens ripen into a capsule packed with seeds embedded in cotton-like floss.
Seeds are wrapped in a silky floss similar to kapok's, and the tree often blooms in a spectacular leafless flush that lights up the dry-season canopy in bright yellow.
